Land surface temperature assimilation into a soil moisture-temperature model for retrieving farm-scale root zone soil moisture

? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Thermal infrared remote sensing have been extensively applied to estimate global- or regional- extent surface soil moisture. Meanwhile, potentials of the remotely sensed data for farm-scale retrieval of root zone soil moisture (RZSM) as well as estimation of soil hydraulic parameters, have been rarely investigated. Using Ensemble Kalman Filter, we propose a new methodology to assimilate land surface temperature (LST) of both MODIS and LANDSAT-8, into the soil temperature module of HYDRUS-1D model. The main objectives are to estimate soil hydraulic parameters and to retrieve RZSM with high spatiotemporal resolution independent of any in-situ measurements of soil temperature or moisture. However, we consider some modeling scenarios by which we assimilate in-situ measurements of soil moisture into the soil moisture module of the HYDRUS-1D model to provide a reference to compare with results of the LST assimilation scenarios. We apply the proposed methodology to a farm located in Moghan irrigation district, Ardabil province of Iran, which has in-situ soil moisture measurements. Even in the least accurate scenario of ours by which MODIS-LST was assimilated, RMSE varies in the range of 0.012–0.013 cm3·cm?3 demonstrated to be superior compared to preceding recent works in the literature of satellite soil moisture retrieval. Moreover, the scenario of assimilating LANDSAT-LST data leads to higher parameter uncertainty compared to the assimilation of solely in-situ soil moisture or MODIS-LST which is related to higher temporal resolution of both in-situ and MODIS data compared to LANDSAT data and the error stems from the algorithm of deriving LANDSAT-LST. Accordingly, our study recommend that assimilation of the satellite-based land surface temperature of both LANDSAT-8 and MODIS are appropriate alternatives for expensive in-situ measurement.
